Sixty years of busy j1nrualist's life
Washington are epitomized in Maj. Ben.
Perley Poole's two superb volumes. One
of the admirers of the Major recently said
that sat a iudicious ripe period of life the
Major stopped growing old, and since then,
like some of the choice old Madeira of which
he writes with so much feeling, he has only
been accumuluing boquet and flavor" Mai
Poore has been one of the best known and
one of the most knowing men in Washing
ton society ior half a century. lie has the
sunny temperament dclighting in bright, So
cal intercourse. Yet his connection with
daily journalism and his position in the
Y. S Senate placed him always in the thick
Of political affairs and social gossip. lie was
ever in the Washington swim" and neve i
failed to hear or see what was said and
done.
The Major could never be very solemn
and in his ripened sketches Of Washington
life every phase reminds him of half a dozen
amusing anecdotes. He has rare gift in
telling a story, and his anecdotes are mex
haustible.
His book will net only add lustre to his
fame as writer, but is Of SO unique char
acter and SO intensely interesting in matter
that it will prove valuable contribution to
the literature of the country II has mirth
for the mirthful, wit for the witty, inform a
tion for all, and we doubt if it has been
equalled by any subscription book since the
war.
